Time to post an entry.
I dreamt that I went to 子華's show with a friend. We've got excellent seats! 3rd row from the front.
And I ended up getting one of the the nightly prize - a book with 子華's handwriting on it.
I know. It's just a dream.
Btw, 子華 has a new show coming up - 洗燥.
Again... sigh... I won't be in HK during that time la...
Wonder what it's about. And wonder if he will come to TO this time...

Starfield
誠意推介. http://starfieldonline.com/
Went to their concert in Toronto last year. It was so awesome! Have been listening to them since.
Christian music doesn't need to be boring. :)
And they are Canadians! How cool is that?

iPad Experience
Was in a rather fancy hotel, The Inn At Penn, in Philadelphia. I was there because JS has a conference there so me and JJ tagged along for the free hotel to make it a road trip.
The hotel is so fancy that it gives you an iPad to use in each room, free of charge, and hence my first iPad experience.
Do I like it?
Hrm... Can't really say... I found that a lot of the interface isn't really that user-friendly but I m not sure if that's an iPad issue or if it's the issue of the specific iPad version of the websites. I was trying to look for attractions and stuff to do in the city but it was hard as hell. Took forever to find an ATM machine. Actually, we failed to find ATM machine (partly because google map failed to give us any useful location but the interface also played a part into the time spent). We ended up going down and asked the receptionist and that took us a grand total of 30sec. Sometimes, old school is a much better method that the oh-so-good technology.
I also found browsing relatively slow, compared to a regular laptop, but just slightly slower compared to, say, a netbook. I m not very patient when it comes to that so it irritated me a little. But then, the page I was trying to view had quite a bit of images on it. Maybe that was why it took longer than I would like.
My very limited experience wasn't all negative tho. For instance, I love the typing ability of the iPad. A few of my recent post are a result of it. I probably wouldn't have the time to retract and type all these after I got back home. Not that it can totally replace the old keyboard cos I found that I make more typo and have to backspace and correct myself a lot. Having said that, it is definitely much much better than typing with my android. And I also suspect that it's related to the fact that I m not too used to the iPad. I bet I can type much better if I have an iPad to play with from time to time.
Given my very limited experience, would I spend a few hundred bucks to buy an iPad for its ease to blog? Most likely not. I mean, I m pretty sure it can do more than blog but I personally don't have a real need for it. I could totally use a couple hundred bucks somewhere else.

Solar
Hated that book. It's one of those titles that I got from other ppl's fb status. Guess it doesn't work for me this time.
Basically, the main character is unlikeable. That's usually a bad sign for me. I find it hard to like a book or movie if the main guy is unlikeable. I need to side with someone in a book/movie. When I can't side with the characters, I find it hard to enjoy the story.
Apparently, the author, Ian McEwan, wrote atonement as well, which is a movie that I didn't like. I think I probably should avoid this author from now on.
